California American Water and the American Water Charitable
Foundation (AWCF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created by
American Water (NYSE: AWK), the nation’s largest publicly traded
water and wastewater utility company, announced today they are
providing a grant of $100,000 to Redwood Credit Union Community
Fund, North Bay Fire Relief for individuals and families impacted
by the wildfires in Northern California.
“These devastating wildfires have directly impacted our
customers and our employees, and the American Water Charitable
Foundation joins many others – including our local California
American Water team – in supporting the people impacted by this
disaster,” said Laura Martin, president, American Water Charitable
Foundation. “We understand how critical water is in our daily lives
and in times of emergencies, and we hope this contribution can
provide some assistance in the communities where homes, business,
and critical infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed.”
“These fires destroyed about a quarter of our service district
in Larkfield,” said California American Water President Richard
Svindland. “Our employees, many of whom themselves had been
evacuated, have worked around the clock amidst this destruction.
While I am proud of their work in having successfully restored
service to most of the remaining homes and businesses there, we
have many customers who will be displaced for years.”
The funding was made possible through the AWCF’s Disaster Relief
Grant and California American Water.
